Drive Past Chevron Until They Fix Their Mess in Ecuador

Published on Sep 12, 2013

For three decades, Chevron's predecessor pumped billions of gallons of toxic waste into the Ecuadorian Amazon. After twenty years of fighting, the communities living with Chevron's legacy of disease and death won $18.1 billion in damages for the destruction of their land. But Chevron won't pay. After all that Chevron has done to these communities, Cher can't feel right about Chevron until they make it right for their victims in the Amazon. Every time we fill our gas tanks, we have a choice to make, and until Chevron pays the Ecuadorians villagers, we shouldn't pay Chevron. Drive past.

On Tuesday, nearly 100 people at an elementary school in Northern Peru were made violently ill when a plane fumigating nearby fields released weed-killer.

Reports stated that 92 school children and 3 teachers were exposed to the dangerous herbicide glyphosate, the active ingredient in US biotech giant Monsanto’s best-selling product, Roundup.

A health official in the municipality of Nepena said at a news conference that children in the school suffered a range of symptoms, including extreme vomiting, fainting, stomach pains, and headaches as a result of the exposure.
